Question Wiring Diagram for 96 318Ti Neeeded

My 318Ti won't start. The gas is getting to the chamber and the battery & the starter are new. So it may be the ignition coil. I need a a wiring diagram for the car to proceed. Do anyone have one they can upload?
It could very well be a bad ignition coil but I cannot find any info on how to test it or the system. I also need to find out what controls the coil and tells it to fire. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Spark testers are ~$3 at any auto store. You should get a good, strong (easily visible) spark. If it's weak, it may be the coil. Make sure you're getting proper ground.
